1M poorest households tagged

The NAPC said the President has ordered all government agencies, including government-owned and -controlled corporations, to focus the administration’s anti-poverty programs on the poorest 1 million families that were identified through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s DSWD National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction NHTS-PR.

“Whereas we had previously concentrated our efforts on impoverished areas, this new presidential directive allows us the mandate to focus on specific households. We are confident that this strategy will yield more immediate results,” said NAPC chief Domingo Panganiban in a statement.
